Did you have fun today?
At first glance, it may seem like a shallow question, but take a closer look and you'll see it's really one of the deepest questions a parent can ask.
Why? Because what they are really asking is this.
"Did they capture your attention today?"
"Did they teach you anything that is relevant to your life?"
"Were you engaged today?"
"Did you feel loved and cared for today?"
"Did you have a good experience?"
